Scream Factory is going absolutely mental this summer, having just announced ten new Blu-ray titles at Comic-Con while also giving us yet another two earlier today. Is there nothing they can’t do? One title we already knew was on the docket: Wes Craven’s cult classic SHOCKER, which was announced a few months ago.

A pretty nice bounty, wouldn’t you say? Here’s the film’s synopsis on the off-chance you need it:

About to be electrocuted for a catalog of heinous crimes, the unrepentant Horace Pinker transforms into a terrifying energy source. Only young athlete Jonathan Parker, with an uncanny connection to Pinker through bizarre dreams, can fight the powerful demon. The two dive in and out of television programs, chasing each other from channel to channel through stunning scenes of disaster, game shows and old reruns.
